Tej Pratap Yadav to get hitched on May 12

PATNA: Incarcerated RJD chief Lalu Prasad’s elder son and former state minister Tej Pratap Yadav will get married to Parsa MLA and former state minister Chandrika Rai’s elder daughter Aishwarya Rai on May 12.
“Yes, it’s true that Tej Pratap and Aishwarya’s marriage has been finalized,” family sources of the bride and groom said on Thursday.

According to sources, the marriage will be solemnised at veterinary ground on May 12 and the ring ceremony may take place at a five-star hotel here on April 18. Though there was no confirmation of Lalu attending either the engagement or wedding of his elder son, sources said he might move a petition in court seeking permission to attend the functions.

Lalu, who is facing jail sentence after his recent convictions in multi-crore fodder scam cases, is currently undergoing treatment at AIIMS-Delhi. Accomplice

While Tej Pratap is 12th pass, sources said Aishwarya has done graduation from elite Miranda House College in Delhi and MBA from Amity, Delhi.

Tejashwi’s mother and former Bihar CM Rabri Devi had said a few months ago that she would prefer ‘sanskari bahus’ for her two sons – Tej and Tejashwi.

Sources said Aishwarya (25) has two younger siblings – a sister who studies in Bengaluru and a brother who practises law at Patna high court.
